A "stop use" order was issued for the back receiving area.
According to state records, this is not the first time rodent droppings have been found at this location.
In 2017, rodents were apparently eating candy bars.
This time, droppings were found in a backroom of the Walgreens.
All areas of the backroom have been ordered to be cleaned and sanitized.
The inspector said the Walgreens must develop and implement a pest management control program.
